Annoying way to undermine feminism as some dumb and toxic pop culture trend. It's the EMBODIMENT of corporate feminism and white-liberal feminism.
Idiot: OMG did you see that top?!?! It has girl power written on it and would look so good with my newest James Charles palette.
Feminist: Uh, last time I checked this shop uses sweatshops which pay women less than one dollar an hour?
Idiot: bUT how else will I look like a #GirlBoss without buying this top and wearing lipstick made with the blood of men and eyeliner sharp enough to puncture the patriarchy?!?!?
Feminist: Buy donating the money you use to buy all that useless stuff to women-centric charities T_T
Idiot: Excuse me are you telling me makeup is bad?!?! It's my choice ok?!?!! I want to wear pounds of chemicals and change the way I look so that I feel empowered okay!??!?!
Feminist: That's not what I- Ugh, nevermind. And feminism is letting women BE empowered and not FEEL empowered by buying shit that just makes some corporate trash named John rich.

A movement trying to liberate women across the world from oppression. Though people give it a lot of hate, it is here to help women get economical, political and social justice!
Though the corporate feminism has poisoned what feminism fights for and many pseudofeminists are hypocrites, it is still a necessary movement for women. Most feminists stand for rape prevention, domestic violence help and no sex trafficking and not girl power lipsticks and a female version of ghostbusters! The media will try to make us sound ridiculous so people don't take us seriously. It's propaganda!
Keep in mind, all good feminism is intersectional as hearing the voices of women of colour, poor women, disabled women etc is just as important!

Not like Other Girls™: Feminism has become a joke! #WomenAgainstFeminism
Feminist: Please tell that to the eleven-year-old who had to give birth to her rapist's baby and the sixteen-year-old who got sentenced to 61 years in prison for standing up to her sexual abuser.
Misogynist: Actually, men get raped toooooo! Women just hate men!
Feminist: *sighs*
Feminist: While, it is true that men get raped and male victims should be just as valid, most of these perpetrators are men. Women don't hate men as much as men hate women and men hate each other. And what's sad is that misogyny has seen women murdered, tortured and abused yet what men define as "women hating men" is #MenAreTrash tweets and internet trolls. These aren't comparable.
